Kitzbühel Alps on 03.02.2024 | skimale7892

Snow condition

Very bad for January in the griesner kar. The start/finish at griesner alm is still possible, but the annual tricky spots in the forest are already clear. Compared to other years, there is also little snow at the very top of the ridge, but still enough there

Snow quality

Hard cover at the bottom, more or less frozen slush depending on the time of day. From 1400m upwards wet, over 1900 wet fresh snow. In the afternoon it started to freeze over -> slushy. Before that it was still ok to ski, but with a lot of effort, especially in the tracked section

Well-set conditions. The scgbee suffers mainly from its own moist load. Slugs, loose snow slides and crawling movements visible everywhere

Overall impression

Even though it was a super fun day, objectively I can't quite give it three stars. It was warmer and therefore much harder than we had hoped, even at the top. The steep gaps at the top are still cool to ride, but the expectations were higher.
